Register for virtual school from October 14
Manama
Bahraini students who do not wish to return to in-person classes should register for virtual school starting next week, said the Education ministry in a statement.
The latest move comes as kids in Bahrain are to return to in-person classes on 24 October. The academic year set to begin today, after months-long delays, will have its first two weeks of study virtually.
Public schools were originally scheduled to reopen last month but were postponed by two more weeks until 11 October 2020 amid worsening coronavirus situation.
The postponement decision was of the Government Executive Committee chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and First Deputy Prime Minister.
The Ministry says it will allows students to continue with their virtual schooling, if they wish to do so, by registering their intent starting 14 October until 12 November. Students of all academic grades can take part in the survey.
Meanwhile, the Ministry has asked re-enrolled Bahraini high school students to approach their schools to complete their registration, fee payment, course registration and receive their course schedules. Students are required to bring them smart cards with them while visiting.
Non-Bahraini students wishing to improve their 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 grades, middle school students, and sixth-grade primary students, are required to register at the customer service centre of the Ministry of Education in Isa Town from 8 am to 12 pm. Students should bring with them their smart cards, last school certificates with their copies.
Students whose certificates are from universities abroad should have it approved by the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the issuing country, the Embassy of Bahrain in that country, and the embassy of that country in the Kingdom, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bahrain.
To register, students should also bring a certificate of good conduct issued by their country, and a letter of non-objection issued by the Ministry of Education in the country of the applicant, and the proof of actual residency in Bahrain during the study period.
